149 The Brother Next Door Is Onmyoji

The door behind him was closed, and Conan was pushed into the room. He pointed at Takayama and Minami who were tied up, and begged them with a confused expression:

"As promised before, can we let Sister Minami go now?"

The kidnapper in the woolen hat sneered, grabbed Conan by the back collar and picked him up, "Kid, if you still want to reason with the kidnapper, remember to be good in your next life and don't dare to mix in anything."

Takayama and Minami couldn't help but struggle when they saw the kidnapper being violent to the child.

Conan looked "in disbelief", "You, you lied to me? It was clearly agreed upon! How can you not keep your word?!"

The two kidnappers looked at each other and smiled. The kid was really naive and easy to deceive.

"I'm warning you, my neighbor's brother is a famous Onmyoji. If you dare to bully me, he won't let you go!"

The two kidnappers were stunned for a moment, Onmyoji? What the hell?

"Ha ha ha ha--"

"Is there something wrong with this kid's head?"

"What kind of thing is an Onmyoji? Do you still use magic sticks to scare people these days?"

"So, do you want to be my enemy?"

A cold male voice suddenly sounded, and the laughter of the two kidnappers stopped immediately.

"Who's talking?"

The beanie-hatted kidnapper's face suddenly turned serious. He had already checked out the area, and it was impossible for anyone else to come here except the kid in front of him.

Just when they were stunned, the pile of talismans that Conan had just grasped were thrown out and fell on the two kidnappers like snowflakes.

Conan took out the earphone from his jacket pocket and said, "Now!"

"Yan Ling·Yi Shi."

With the sound coming from the earphone, before the two kidnappers could react, all the charms exploded instantly, but nothing was blown up. Instead, they exploded into light spots like fireworks.

Conan's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt worried, "I said, is your move useless?"

"Wait and see." Hanyu Qing'an's voice was very calm.

Conan opened the cover of his watch, ready to use an anesthetic needle to knock down the kidnapper with the gun first, but he found that the two men staggered to the ground as if they had been anesthetized.

Conan carefully stepped forward to check and saw that the two men were indeed unresponsive. He first put away the kidnapper's pistol, and then took a closer look.

Both kidnappers looked languid and extremely weak. Looking at their pale faces, Conan took a breath.

It's just like draining a person's blood, but it shouldn't be the case. Is it that the life force has been drained? It feels like this spell is a bit evil.

Conan suddenly felt that his impression of Hanyu Kiyosu was wrong from the beginning...

Not only did he think so, but some people who knew about the Fujiwara family also began to secretly speculate that the reason why Mr. Fujiwara was able to survive was not only the blessing of the talisman.

But... in the name of holding a funeral, what kind of sacrificial ceremony was performed secretly?

After listening to Conan's description, Hanyu Qing'an on the other side of the phone thought to himself that it turned out that directly activating skills can directly reduce the opponent's vitality instead of exploding physical damage, which is a bit interesting.

However, this kind of damage should be able to recover on its own, right? Just like the replenished vitality will slowly drain away, the reduced vitality can also be replenished on its own. Is it also within 24 hours?

Playing with the pet turtle in his hand, Hanyu Qing'an hung up the phone and called Amuro Tohru again. It was getting late. Although no one except Conan really encountered a dangerous scene, it was better to go there.

Conan on the other side breathed a sigh of relief, called Officer Megure to come and "clean the floor", and then rushed to the concert site with the rescued Takayama Minami.

Toru Amuro arrived quickly. He had also caught up on his sleep during the day and was now awake.

"Amuro, do you have a heavy workload recently?"

Hanyu Kiyosu's words made Amuro's eyes jump, "It's okay. President, do you have any new tasks to explain?"

"It's not a new task. It's what I mentioned before, providing low-cost funeral services to the lower class people in Tokyo. Now that we have more funds, it's time to start it."

Amuro said sincerely that this was indeed not a new task, it had directly doubled the workload several times...

"President... I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower..." Toru Amuro reminded tactfully.

Hanyu Qing'an said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, just hire more. There will definitely be enough cheap and easy-to-use new employees to come to you."

"..." Amuro said sincerely that you really have no inhibitions.

"Of course, you and Umezawa are both veteran employees who have been at the funeral agency since it first opened. Your salary should also be increased. At least it should be so that you can afford to buy the apartment building next door to the Mori Detective. Well, you might as well just do it.

I’ll give each of you an apartment as a bonus for your recent hard work.”

Hanyu Qingan thought for a while and then continued: "There are four other employees who have been here for a while. If there is nothing extraordinary, we can consider making them regular employees."

Toru Amuro no longer takes the president's money offensive seriously. At first, he thought that the president was just using money to win people's hearts, but now he doesn't see it that way. This is obviously a secret attitude conveyed.

Putting himself and Mingmei out alone and distinguishing them from the remaining four people is probably to comfort themselves. Don't think too much, just carry on as before, and just pretend that the divination thing never happened.

Just like what I did to Mingmei.

"Thank you very much, President. I would like to thank you on behalf of Umesawa." Toru Amuro responded. This was very obvious, and the President should have understood what he meant.

Hanyu Qing'an was stunned for a moment after hearing what he said. Do you want to thank Umezawa on behalf of her? Who are you to her? Could it be...

"Umezawa is a miserable man, please take more care of him in the future." As for workplace romance, Hanyu Kiyosu is still two senior employees, and he is not cruel enough to beat up mandarin ducks.

Toru Amuro felt a shiver in his heart. Akemi had indeed gone through a difficult time. The president probably knew more than he thought...

When the two people arrived at the concert, the performance had just begun. The venue was dark, and then Conan's singing voice came from the speakers, not in tune at all, like a magical sound.

However, soon a voice exactly like Conan's sounded again. This time it was obviously a professional singer. He sang very nicely, but he was still distracted by Conan's off-key voice, making it impossible to enjoy it at all.

Hanyu Kiyosu stood in the last row of the stands. He could not appreciate the excitement of a live concert, but felt noisy. After confirming that Sonoko and others were safe and sound, he quietly left with Amuro Teru.

Leaning on the side of the car while admiring the night sky and chatting is better than being deafened by the noise inside.
